In Summer Semester 2026, starting in March 2026 until May 2026:
I will give a lecture on Galactic Structure and Stellar Systems.
Lunch Talk at ESO in January 2026
In January 2026 I will give a lunch talk at ESO Garching about the enigmatic Blobs in a cluster of galaxies near cosmic noon (publication Maier, Ziegler & Kodama 2025).
Talk at the Wienerwald Astronomy Symposium
In December 2025 I will give a talk about the enigmatic Blobs in a cluster of 
galaxies near cosmic noon (which I discovered this year) at the Wienerwald Astronomy Symposium 2025.
Lecture Formation and Evolution of Galaxies
In Winter-Semester 2025, starting on 28 October 2025 until end of January 2026:Talk at the MMC 2025 conference in Italy
In October 2025 I will give a talk about the enigmatic Blobs in a cluster of galaxies near cosmic noon (which I discovered this year) at the conference MMC 2025.
The conference MMC (Multi-phase, Multi-temperature and Complex) will take place in Olbia/Italy from October 6 to October 10.
BLOBs Poster at the Galaxy Clusters conference in Sesto
At the Sesto Tracing Cosmic Evolution with Galaxy Clusters meeting a poster is presented this week about my work on the Gigantic (few hundreds kpc**2) Enigmatic (without a stellar counterpart) [OII]3727 BLOBS detected by MUSE in cluster XMM2215 near cosmic noon.
You can find the poster here.
Talk at the Institute Seminar of Department of Astrophysics
On Friday July 4th I will talk at the Institute Seminar of Department of Astrophysics about a new discovery near cosmic noon: enigmatic BLOBs of ionized [OII] gas in cluster XMM2215, with no clear evidence for their photoionization source.
EAS 2025: Poster about BLOBs in cluster XMM2215 near cosmic noon
At the EAS 2025 a poster will be presented about my work on the BLOBs in 
cluster XMM2215 near cosmic noon. The poster will be presented in the special session SS19, Galaxies and ICM across the protocluster to cluster transition.
You can find the EAS 2025 poster here.
The BLOBs alias the Breath of (Galaxies) Death: Enigmatic Diffuse Ionized Gas Structures in a Cluster of Galaxies near Cosmic Noon
Our paper by C. Maier et al. with the title: Enigmatic diffuse ionized gas structures in a cluster of galaxies near cosmic noon has been published in the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal.
The BLOBs represent the Breath of Death of Dying Galaxies: They are tracing the quenching of star formation in galaxies in the center of the cluster at a redshift close to cosmic noon, z ~ 1.5. The central area of the cluster contains only passive galaxies and an AGN.
